We have welded together 26 small pie shaped cuts together to make one amazing down pipe.
What do you guys think about the new down pipes?
Looks pretty cool and a pain in the *** for whoever had to do all that fab work..What is the benefit or purpose of building a dp with the pie cuts over the traditional way?
What I'd like to see is someone pie cut a pipe that has an oval shape and use it for a bent to maintain the same amount of volume in the pipe through a bend. Essentially closing in the inside and outside diameters toward each other without sacrificing inner pipe volume the way a crush bend does. That's how to maintain steady flow through bends more so than "mandrel". That same effect can be seen here on this motorcycle exhaust.
